The data used in this dashboard has been simulated from the Atlanta African American Maternal Child cohort (2014-2019); the original dataset was not used for confidentiality purposes. Data was simulated using mean and standard deviation for age, and relative proportions for birth outcome, BMI category, and educational attainment. The original cohort included pregnant African American women who were recruited from Grady Hospital and Emory University Hospital Midtown during their first clinical visit from 2014-2019. The simulated data used a sample size of N = 600 participants.
The main aim of this exploratory data analysis is to understand any trends in maternal characteristics by birth outcome.
The rates of early term and preterm birth are much higher in African American women than women of any other race or ethnicity. It is important to elucidate factors that may impact preterm and early term birth in this sensitive population to improve birth outcomes more effectively.
